The taxonomy separates products by energy class, enabling filtered browsing that surfaces efficient appliances to environmentally conscious shoppers. Our API extracts energy ratings from product specifications and ensures correct energy class categorization.
Products categorize into energy efficiency segments for filtered browsing
Washing machine categorization exemplifies the technical depth required for UBALDI classification. Products subdivide by loading type (frontal vs. top-loading), capacity in kilograms, spin speed in RPM, energy rating, and smart connectivity features. A lave-linge frontal 9kg 1400 tours must categorize with all these attributes correctly mapped for accurate search result placement and specification comparison.
Refrigeration products follow similarly detailed classification with distinctions between réfrigérateurs (refrigerators), congélateurs (freezers), and combined réfrigérateur-congélateur units. Subcategories separate by configuration (one-door, two-door, side-by-side, French door), total capacity, freezer capacity, and special features like ice makers, water dispensers, or smart connectivity.
Automatic extraction of technical specifications including dimensions, capacity, power ratings, and efficiency classes.
Extraction and mapping of EU energy labels for appliances, enabling energy efficiency filtered categorization.
Full understanding of French electronics terminology, model naming conventions, and technical vocabulary.
Recognition of major appliance brands including Bosch, Siemens, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and French brands.
Automatic parsing of product dimensions and capacity specifications for installation compatibility filtering.
Recognition of warranty periods and manufacturer guarantees affecting product positioning.
Small household appliances span an enormous range of products from kitchen essentials to personal care devices. The taxonomy organizes petit électroménager by room and function, with kitchen appliances forming the largest segment. Coffee machines, blenders, food processors, toasters, kettles, and countless specialized kitchen devices each occupy distinct category positions within the cuisine hierarchy.
Coffee machine categorization alone requires understanding of multiple brewing technologies and form factors. Machines à café distinguish between espresso, filter, pod-based systems (Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, Tassimo), bean-to-cup automatics, and traditional moka pots. Our API recognizes these brewing type distinctions and categorizes coffee equipment into appropriate subcategories that match how French coffee enthusiasts browse and compare options.
Personal care appliances including hair dryers, straighteners, electric shavers, and grooming devices follow their own taxonomic structure within petit électroménager. These products categorize by device type, target user (men's grooming vs. women's styling), power specifications, and technology type. Premium personal care brands receive appropriate positioning within quality tier segments.
Television categorization requires screen size, display technology, resolution, and smart platform attribute extraction. The taxonomy distinguishes between LED, OLED, QLED, and emerging display technologies while organizing by screen diagonal measurement in centimeters. Smart TV capabilities, HDR support, refresh rates, and connectivity options all influence proper subcategory placement.
Audio equipment spans home theater systems, soundbars, portable speakers, headphones, and hi-fi components. Each product type maintains its own classification hierarchy with appropriate technical attribute requirements. Soundbars categorize by channel configuration, wireless connectivity, and compatibility with specific TV brands or smart home ecosystems.
Computing products including laptops, desktop computers, tablets, and accessories require detailed technical specification parsing. Processor type, RAM capacity, storage configuration, screen specifications, and intended use case all influence categorization. Gaming-oriented products receive distinct classification from business or home productivity devices based on specification profiles.
